did I mistake?

Spending a grand on a motor or a car is nothing in this sport/hobby.As BJR and I can tell you from years of doing this,you will in the further spend 10,s of thousands of dollars,building what you want and the way you want it.Do not under any situation allow any one to tell you that car is a piece of crap,not worth it,its ugly or any thing along those lines at all.If you like that car,thats all that matters,if your happy,we are happy.A example of a one of a kind mopar is in a recent article,build a mint condition chrysler new yorker and install a hemi and A/C with a 518 O/D tranny.talk about land yacht,with power.I would be proud to own a 4 door dart with a good power 318.Just think,you get the car all done,running good,and some clown wants to race you,you say you have a /6 in the car and you will try,nail the gas and toast him in a 4 door dart as his freinds laugh at him being beat by a granny car and four doors and a /6,we are talking killer sleeper car here.I would clean up the interior,do a good paint and body work,spend the money on the motor/tranny/diffy and make it very steady drive to have fun and go with.At any time you can change to a nother car you like and remove the motor and tranny and install in a nother A-body car,no big deal there.The reason people say its not a good car is,they have no vision or they are jealos of you having a car they want.I say be different,and don,t follow the crowd,and do your own thing your way,mrmopartech
